And she ended up slaying the Dragons, snagging a $150,000 deal for 35% equity with Calgary Dragon Manjit Minhas.

The washable feminine product is designed to last three to five years.

“They’re designed to make women feel better, have a better experience, help the environment and help their pocket book,” said Owen.

She added that the products are for menstruation, incontinence and feminine freshness.

“The whole idea is that the FDA and Health Canada does not regulate feminine products, so they carry toxins, chemical astringents, bleaches and perfumes inside of them that’s all being absorbed into the woman’s body, causing obviously health concerns,” she said, adding that Lotus Liners have none of those properties.

Owen has been running the company for about four years now, and was someone who didn’t really enjoy using disposable products, so wanted to start something.

“And I have a young daughter and she was eight at the time and I thought, wow what’s her prospects for the next 40 years for her using disposable products that we already know are toxic and harmful to the body?”

And so began her research.

Owen reached out to the Dragons’ Den in February for an audition and went to Toronto in May to tape the show.
